Never again not notice how gracefully men put themselves down to elevate the female ego…
…and make them stop. 😀
The worst thing you can do to a person is to build them a false ego. It is ironically nearly always done with love, out of love, but never out of respect.
Men are wonderful. They bend over backward to make women feel like they’re worthy and capable. And often, they resort to lies and self-ridicule to make a woman feel better. They know they’re awesome, and they want us women to think we’re somewhat equal to them. A man ridiculing the whole male gender secretly thinks women can’t really be their equal and need a man to make a fool of himself to feel equal to them.
It’s an understandable perspective; a lot of women don’t really want to do the work that it requires to be equal to men. Still… I do believe we can be a lot better at least. But with that, men could help us by treating us as real equals instead of children being humored. This means that we must be pointed out when we are NOT living up to the same expectations that are required of men and when we are given jobs based on our gender when a man wouldn’t be considered skilled or professional enough for the position.
I do love their effort to try and make us all feel better at their own expense but truthfully it does more harm than it does good. It’s one of those good intentions paving a road to Hell.
And having said that, I’m the queen of flattery and white lies, and I realized that after well-intentionally flattering my female friends into ego-driven lunatics that I needed to find a way to destroy… I realized the worst thing I could do to them was not to break their false ego but to keep lying to those narcissistic cunts a little bit more, so they’ll never see their own failures but keep gasping for breath, not knowing why they can’t ever quite make it… Such cruelty can truly only be kept up if you think it’s an act of love; all anger and resentment will eventually thrive toward breaking that false ego, one way or another, and hope that the breaking of it stings so bad it will give you the pleasure the revenge required.
But. If you keep flattering and flaunting your loved one’s egos, blame yourself when you find yourself surrounded by abusive narcissists that think you love and admire them so much they keep coming back to you lifetime after lifetime… With all new expectations of how to be pampered and glorified for very little effort or talent.
You’ll do yourself and them a favor if you quit flattering people with falsehoods. ALWAYS flatter people with the truth or don’t flatter them at all… And if the only nice thing you can think of is to say “You’ve got beautiful eyes,” maybe it’s best you don’t say it at all.
